Animal Physiotherapy – Advanced care for rehabilitation and mobility

Veterinary physiotherapy plays an essential role in the recovery from surgery, the management of chronic pain and the improvement of mobility in animals suffering from musculoskeletal or neurological pathologies. These techniques help to improve quality of life by optimizing joint and muscle function.

Interdisciplinary collaboration and personalized follow-up

Our physiotherapy specialists work closely with the surgery, neurology, imaging and acupuncture departments to optimize patient recovery and ensure comprehensive, tailored care. Thanks to this multidisciplinary approach, each animal benefits from a tailor-made treatment plan, including rehabilitation, therapeutic exercise and weight management.

We use modern therapies and specialized equipment, such as the water treadmill, therapeutic laser and electrical stimulation, to offer personalized treatments tailored to each patient’s needs. Our specialized equipment includes:

Water treadmill: Gentle rehabilitation to strengthen muscles and joints
Laser therapy: Reduced inflammation and pain
Stem cell injections and PRP: Enhanced recovery and tissue regeneration
Neuromuscular stimulation (NMES/TENS): Targeted muscle activation to strengthen motor function

Whether for post-operative recovery, the management of neurological disorders or the care of geriatric animals, our physiotherapy department is available to provide advanced care, always with respect for animal welfare.
